Weddings at BrookLodge & Macreddin Village
Macreddin Chapel sits beside the brook, with BrookHall a short walk over the bridge and across the lawn. If your ceremony is on site, that short journey can become part of the story rather than a gap in the day. We plan around your booked ceremony and reception spaces.
If you are having a church ceremony or getting ready away from the venue, we include travel and arrival time in the plan. When everything is on site, we can use that breathing space to keep the pace relaxed.
We coordinate family photographs and a short portrait session around your meal call. A handful of carefully chosen locations is usually all we need.
Wedding Photography at BrookLodge
The small bridge, gardens, chapel surroundings and village paths give us several options close to the celebrations. We choose a short portrait route that makes the most of the light and keeps you near your guests.
A relaxed twenty to thirty minutes is usually a good starting point. We give you enough direction to feel comfortable, then leave room for conversation, movement and the little moments between you.
A Village Setting with Water and Greenery
BrookLodge’s character comes from the relationship between its buildings and the landscape around them. A walk beside the brook or through the gardens can give your photographs a gentle, natural feel, while BrookHall brings a different atmosphere to the evening.
Photography & Film — One Team
When you book both, we work as one small coordinated team. Your photographs and film share a natural, cinematic approach, with your plans guiding the day.
The landscape establishes where it all happened. Your people, their reactions and the words they share give the story its meaning.
Wedding Films at BrookLodge
Your wedding film brings back the movement, atmosphere and voices of the day. A cinematic highlights film tells the story, while full ceremony and speeches films preserve the words you will want to hear again.
The vows, the readings, a parent’s speech and the laughter that follows a good story become part of something you can revisit together.
The walk from the chapel, the sound of the celebrations and the atmosphere of BrookHall give your film a natural progression from ceremony to evening.
Cinematic Vertical Wedding Film
Every collection includes a Cinematic Vertical Wedding Film, thoughtfully edited in our signature style and delivered within seven days. The film runs approximately 60–90 seconds.
Next-Day Delivery is an optional upgrade on selected dates. Please enquire about pricing and book in advance.
A Relaxed BrookLodge Wedding Timeline
Morning preparations
We plan our arrival around your ceremony time and preparation locations, allowing space for details, family and the excitement building before you leave.
Ceremony and congratulations
Natural coverage of the vows and reactions, followed by time to greet your guests. If your ceremony is off site, we include the journey back to the estate.
Family photographs
A short list agreed beforehand helps us organise the important groups efficiently.
Couple portraits
Allow around twenty to thirty minutes for a few well-chosen locations, then return to your drinks reception.
Dinner, speeches and evening
We work around the venue’s meal call. With photography and film together, the speeches can be recorded in full. If the evening light offers something special, we may suggest another short portrait break before the first dance.
What If It Rains at BrookLodge?
We check which indoor spaces are available and build a flexible portrait plan around them. A short break in the rain can be enough for the bridge or gardens. We also allow a little extra time for movement between the chapel and reception if the weather calls for it.
Wedding Albums
Our Photography Collection includes a customisable 12 × 8 inch Italian Storybook Wedding Album. Designed around your favourite photographs, it brings the full story together in something you can hold and share. Smaller 6 × 4 inch parent albums are also available to discuss.

BrookLodge Wedding Photography FAQs
How do we plan the photography around our venue?
Before the wedding, we go through your ceremony time, preparation locations, meal call and the photographs that matter most to you. We coordinate the plan with your venue and keep portrait locations close together wherever possible, so you can spend more of the day with your guests.
How much time should we allow for couple photographs?
We normally recommend around 20–30 minutes during the drinks reception, rather than disappearing for a long portrait session. If the evening light is particularly beautiful, we may suggest stepping outside again for another ten minutes later in the day.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
We plan indoor alternatives with the venue team and watch for short breaks in the weather. Good window light, sheltered spots and a little flexibility can give us beautiful photographs. We will keep you comfortable and adjust the plan to the conditions.
Can you cover both partners getting ready?
We can plan for both sets of preparations where the locations, timings and booked team allow. Tell us where you will each be getting ready and we will explain how to make the morning work, including whether an additional team member would be helpful.
Do you provide both photography and wedding film?
Yes. We offer photography and cinematic wedding film with one coordinated team, as well as photography collections. Ask us about the albums, full films and short vertical edits available with your preferred coverage.
